27、关，这里句意为我们之中那些无须担忧贫困的人差不多是自己找来了疾病，因此选 as though。4.（分数：0.50）A.byB.without C.notD.with解析：试题分析 本题考查学生正确理解文章的能力。详细解答 根据下文 their lives scarred by disease生命被疾病侵扰，可以推断出他们没有分享到medical advances，因此 A、D 两项可排除，C 项不合句法，只能选 B。5.（分数：0.50）A.healingB.therapyC.cure D.remedy解析：试题分析 本题考查学生辨析词义的能力。详细解答 文中的意思是：谁会相信现在还没有治愈
28、癌症的方法。heading 强调对伤口的治愈；therapy是医学术语，“疗法”，cure 为一般用语，指治愈疾病的(方法、手段)；remedy 强调治疗的方法和药物，根据以上分析，应选 cure6.（分数：0.50）A.sweepingB.prevalent C.generalD.widespread解析：试题分析 本题考查学生辨析词义的能力。详细解答 sweeping 范围大的，笼统的；prevalent 流行的，盛行的；general 普通的，大体的；widespread分布广的，流传广的。文章中句子的意思，。这些疾病流行于富有的国家。因此这里应用prevalent。7.（分数：0.50
29、）A.cycleB.timeC.expectancy D.expectation解析：试题分析 本题考查学生对复合词的掌握。详细解答 life expectancy 是复合词，意为“寿命”；life cycle 和 life time也为复合词，分别为“(生物的)生命周期”和“终身”，不符合文章的意思。8.（分数：0.50）A.more thanB.other thanC.less thanD.rather than 解析：试题分析 本题要求学生理解句子的意思，选出正确的习语。详细解答 这句的意思是：死胎和婴儿死亡更多地存在于 19世纪而不是 21世纪的另一个原因，因此选rather than

31、A.with regardsB.in terms of C.in respect ofD.concerning with解析：试题分析 本题考查学生是否能对习惯用语作出正确的搭配。详细解答 四个选项均表示“关于，至于，就方面而言”之意，但只有 B项是正确的搭配。A 项正确的搭配应是 with regard to或 as regards，C 项是 in respect of，D 项中 concerning本身就是介词，不需再用 with。11.（分数：0.50）A.povertyB.miseryC.prosperityD.depression 解析：试题分析 本题要求学生结合上下文作出判断，选择
32、正确的词。详细解答 上文提到欧美生活富裕，下文又讲到他们损失健康岁月的可能性比非洲人要高三倍多，所以可判定不是 poverty和 prosperity 导致这一情况。文中还提到他们过多操心人际关系和生活标准，因此应是 depression(压抑)导致的。12.（分数：0.50）A.dangerB.threatC.risk D.jeopardy解析：试题分析 本题考查学生掌握习惯搭配的能力。详细解答 putat risk of 是习惯用语，意为“把置于危险中”，danger, jeopardy 也是“危险之意”，但应与 in搭配，in danger，in jeopardy。13.（分数：0.50
33、）A.powerB.strengthC.wealth D.health解析：试题分析 本题要求学生联系上下文作正确的推断。详细解答 上文中提到十大致命疾病分为两半，一半具有低收入国家特征是传染性疾病，另一半流行于富有国家是非传染性疾病；下文也讲到，富裕国家的人易死于癌病、心血管等非传染性疾病，贫穷国家的人易死于传染性疾病。因此，人们如何死去的标志是 wealth。14.（分数：0.50）A.forB.likeC.byD.as 解析：试题分析 本题考查学生正确使用介词的能力。详细解答 这里应指肺结核越来越成为一种威胁。只有 as有“作为，当做”之意，应选 as。like 作介词，表示“和一样，类
34、似”。15.（分数：0.50）A.shortened B.expandedC.lengthenedD.damaged解析：试题分析 本题要求学生根据上下文的提示，作出正确选择。详细解答根据上文谈到“10 亿人仍没有享受到医学的进步”，及后文的“被疾病侵扰”，可判断出生命因疾病的关系而受威胁或缩短，因此 B、C 两项可排除，damaged 指对事物、东西的毁坏，故只能选shortened。16.（分数：0.50）A.WhichB.Where C.WhenD.What解析：试题分析 本题考查学生运用关系词的能力。详细解答 这里的关系词相当于 in the situation，所以 C、D 两项可排
35、除掉，which 选项和介词 in搭配，只能选择 where。17.（分数：0.50）A.put to rightB.put to correctC.put right D.put correct解析：试题分析 本题考查学生正确运用习语的能力。详细解答 put right 是习语，意为“使恢复正常；纠正的错误”，也可以用 put to rights18.（分数：0.50）A.drawing outB.figuring outC.working out D.making out解析：试题分析 本题考查学生辨菥词组的能力。详细解答 draw out 拟制(计划)；figure out 计算出，解决

37、能力。详细解答 上题的解答中已提到，这句话前一半和后一半是对比的关系，而四个选择项中 while可以表示这种对比关系。三、Section Reading Co(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、Part A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)五、Text 1(总题数：5，分数：10.00)21.Foreign movies won t be dubbed into major language when _.（分数：2.00）A.there are not many audiences B.all the audiences know that foreign languageC.the audien
38、ces don t like it very muchD.the language spoken on-screen is English解析：试题分析 本题考查学生根据文章内容作判断的能力。详细解答 文章第五段中有一句“Foreign movies or sitcoms may be dubbed into major languages，but for smaller audiences they are usually subtitled”此句意为：外国电影或情景喜剧可能配译主要语言，但针对小范围的观众时往往只打字幕。言下之意是如果观众很多，影片就配译主要语言，观众少时，就不进行配译了，
39、只在下面打字幕。故应选 A。22.From the passage, we can know that _.（分数：2.00）A.20-25% of earths 6 billion people can use American EnglishB.20-25% of earth s 6 billion people can use Dr. Johnson s EnglishC.20-25% of earths 6 billion people can use standard EnglishD.20-25% of earths 6 billion people can use English
40、 though not idiomatic 解析：试题分析 本题考查学生对作者意图的理解，属于观点题。详细解答 仔细阅读文章第三段最后一句话，我们可得出答案。“20-25% of earths 6 billion people can use English；not the English of England，let alone of Dr.Johnson，but English”这个句子用了借代的修辞手法，the English of England，Dr.Johnsons English 均指代 idiomatic English，地道的英语，Dr，Johnson 是英国独自系统地编写第
41、一部英语字典的人。故该题选 D。23.The word “nudge“ in the first sentence of paragraph six means _.（分数：2.00）A.progressB.encouragementC.push D.growth解析：试题分析 本题考查根据上下文推断生词意义的能力。详细解答 文章最后一段有“American operating system gave English a nudge ahead”，紧接后一句是“that of the Internet has given it a huge push”因此，可推断，nudge 应和 push是
42、同义词，这题考生容易选 progress，我们把 progress放入原句中，可发现 progress 不能与 give搭配，应与 make搭配，故可排除。nudge 意为“a slight or gentle push，espwith the elbow”轻推。24.The author cites the example of India to show _.（分数：2.00）A.the backwardness of its own languageB.the importance of learning EnglishC.the widespread of English langua
43、ge D.the great influence of the British empire解析：试题分析 本题考查学生对作者意图的理解，属于观点题。详细解答 文章一开始提到了印度的情况，印度约有十亿人口和自己的一大打语种，而全国通用、为全国精英所掌握的语言只有一种，那就是英语。不难推断，作者用这个例子的目的绝不是表现印度自己语种的落后，也不是表现曾经统治过印度的天帝国有多么强大，而是为了显示英语在全球的广泛应用以及巨大影响，故应选 C。25.Which of the following is NOT mentioned when the author explains the reasons
44、 of the rapid growing number of English speaker?（分数：2.00）A.New pupils are required to learn English at school.B.Monolingual old people are encouraged to speak English. C.Employees have to learn English if they want to get a chance of promotion.D.Scholars use English as the language of their academic
45、 works more often than other languages.解析：试题分析 本题考查学生对文章细节内容的理解。详细解答 文章第四段谈到说英语的人数在飞快增加时，分析了三个原因，首先是每年有新学生进小学，有使用单语种的老年人死去，这就意味着孩子们在小学就开始学英语；其次是每家公司在流动人员，提拔优秀人员时，也鼓励他们使用英语；最后学术刊物中占主导地位的语言是英语。因此，对比以上内容，只有 B项的内容文章没有谈及。六、Text 2(总题数：5，分数：10.00)26.Based on the information in the passage, what can be infe
